Medical Acupuncture

Medical Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine and has been extensively researched to prove its efficacy.Acupuncture can be used by allied health professionals as an adjunct to your treatment program, or can be fully utilized by certified acupuncturists for your complete treatment plan.

It has been shown to:

Reduce Acute or Chronic Pain: Acupuncture needles produce a painful response in the body and, as a result, the body releases natural pain-killers known as opiods.Recent evidence has revealed that the addition of an electrical stimulus to the needles enhances the analgesic effect of acupuncture.

Encourage Circulation & Natural Healing: The insertion of acupuncture needles also results in an increase in blood flow to the area surrounding the needles.Blood flow to an injury site is essential for healing, since blood carries oxygen and the body’s healing components necessary for recovery.

Improve Function of Body Parts: the application of needles and an electrical current can stimulate and facilitate the body’s neuromuscular connection

Improve the Body’s Biochemical Balance

Help to reduce stress and anxiety

Some of the most common and most successful pain-related conditions treated with acupuncture include:

Dr. Cheng is amazing, she treats you like she cares and not just like another patient. I was surprised when she called me personally to check on how I was doing after surgery. Very happy with everything!

Thank you dr Olivia Cheng for your amazing surgical work done on my knee for the second time . I wish I had come and met with your previously for my first knee surgery but you are a super star and I’m healing and recovering fabulously thanks to you and the amazing staff at your institute . The brace is amazing too , so looking forward to returning to work tomorrow after being off for 6 weeks ! Thank you again and don’t take this the wrong way I hope
Our paths won’t have to cross again , I’m very confident in this surgery being a success that I’m good to go and move forward 👍🏻dr Cheng was highly recommended and I cannot say enough about her and her staff .

It was 2 years ago today that I had a tragic accident and required surgery to repair the nerves and tendons in both my feet. I was referred here by a family member and quickly understood why they spoke so highly of the entire staff. From the moment I registered with the receptionist I felt welcome and comfortable. Darryl was my therapist and was very thorough and patient with me answering my many questions and explaining my treatment and assessment so that I could understand. With hard work and a lot of support and direction and treatment I was up and walking again ahead of schedule. I will always be grateful for the experience to be treated by this team of professionals and I continue to bring to my son here to be treated by the best!

Working with the great group of people at OSI over the last few months has changed the course of my life drastically after a motorcycle accident left me with extensive injuries. They have helped me develop my ability to heal and recover beyond a point I had not thought possible. The very motivating, knowledgeable practitioners and the friendly ladies at the front all help make an enjoyable experience on the road to recovery. I only wish I had come to them sooner!

The clinic is a unique source of help and information. From Dr Cheng and Todd Starr at the top to the wonderful women on the reception desk I have found nothing but help and support. The people are well trained, knowledgeable and very approachable. The exercise classes are really helpful for strengthening and flexibility. I recently had stem cell injected into my knee and I feel as though the results are very encouraging. The follow up support and care during this procedure have been first class. I would recommend the clinic to anyone.
